i just lowered my car with skunk 2 coilovers and tokico 5 way adjustable sruts. I put the coilovers all the way down and the car sits unleveled. one tire is tucked and the other one is not why is that?

Also i dont have the motor in the car right now but once i put it in will it sit the front down even more?

 

yes the car will go down more once the motor is in actually alot. dunno if you ever seen a civic without a motor it sits very high. i bet if you put the motor in now the car would be almost to the ground if not touching the ground.

way way high

 

are you sure you installed them correct?? and you didn't mix up one of the sides and install the front coil over in the rear and the rear in the front. That would cause it to sit unlevel. i would check to make sure they are installed right. i don't have adjustables but are all of them at the same setting??? if one is set soft and the other is stiff that might cause it to sag some.

 

Put a motor in, then we'll talk.

 

Along with all the thing people have already said. check the air pressure in the tires and make sure they all have equal pressure. Also are you on level ground??

 

My skunks sit a little off too. Yes the engine is in and yes they were installed right. The driver side front is a finger gap while the passenger side is a finger and a half. My friend says that I should do it the other way so that it sits level when I get in. It kinda sounds logical but it also sounds like bullshit. If they were adjusted to the same height, why are they off?

 

all cars will not be even with coil overs and even with standard springs. that is why coil overs are great as you can adjust to balance out the car. adjust each corner to get the height you want and if you really are serious find a place or someone who has scales and corner weight the car.

What the hell is corner weighing?

 

corner weighting is when you put your car on scales and adjust coil overs to get a balance of the car. you can also balance a car by adding weight or taking weight away also. but coilovers can accomplish a lot if used right.
